The NLM Division of Intramural Research (DIR) develops and applies computational approaches to a broad range of information problems in biology, biomedicine, and human health.
Our Principal Investigators
We are developing solutions to topics ranging from fold-switching proteins to visualization of personal health data.
NLM Research Highlights
NLM is leveraging its extensive literature, sequence-related and clinical resources to address a broad range of biomedical information challenges.
NLM’s current research emphases lie in two areas. In computational health research, the focus areas include natural language processing, clinical image processing, biomedical ontologies and information models, and clinical analytics. In computational biology research, topics include transcription, chromatin and networks; structure and function; sequence statistics; and evolutionary genomics.
NLM’s Division of Intramural Research also provides exciting training and research opportunities for high school and undergraduate students and pre and postdoctoral trainees who seek to develop research careers in these areas. Visit the Training Program website for more information.
